Feast of the 7 Fishes 2013

My favorite holiday of the year is Christmas Eve where we celebrate the "Feast of the Seven Fishes". As the name implies, I prepare 7 different fish dishes. The most important part of the meal however is that you share it with family and friends. Here is the menu and some pictures from this years feast. Buon Natale!
